The typical directory structure for running tests
Here is a typical directory structure for organizing tests using unittest in a Python project:
project/ ├── package/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── module.py ├── tests/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── test_module.py ├── setup.py
- project/ is the root directory of your Python project. It contains all of the files and subdirectories related to your project.
- package/ is a subdirectory that contains code for a Python package. A package is a collection of modules that can be imported and used in other Python programs. The __init__.py file is a special file that tells Python that this directory should be treated as a package. The module.py file is a Python module that contains code that can be used by other parts of your project.
- tests/ is a subdirectory that contains test code for your project.
- setup.py is a Python script that is used to install your project. It specifies metadata about the project, such as its name, version, and dependencies, and defines the entry points for your project.
